Only steps from the beautiful Cove Creek and surrounded by crop fields. This is a fantastic home for literally any application. Come and see quite possibly the nicest affordable home in the High Country today!
DRAMATIC PRICE REDUCTION! This family home is a well maintained 1970's ranch style w/ a large yard and only a 15 minute drive to Boone and ASU on state maintained roads. The main floor has a spacious open feel with lots of natural light, pretty hardwood floors in the living room and dining room, a large country kitchen with a pass through to the dining area and a cozy TV/den nook for reading and gathering. This floor also has two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a double vanity & new flooring in 2012. The dining patio doors open to a covered porch for outside but protected entertaining & dining. The lower level has a good sized bonus room and a 3rd spacious office/sleeping area with a closet. The dry unfinished basement has a working wood stove, storage space, a workshop and root cellar ready to be used again. A new well and a new roof were added in 2004. A new septic and drain field were also added in 2004 allowing the home the capacity for a 2nd bathroom. The septic permit is for a 3 bedroom. This sweet home has been lovingly cared for and is being sold as is. Priced to sell!
